So, I have done a bit more research and came to the conclusion: To walk the Via Podiensis in the winter is for me. I gonna start in Le Puy 1. Jan. 2023, all the way to Porto, with a brief walk to Finisterre.
Ultreia et Suseia. ❤️🥾🥾⛄️
Thanks so much to answer straight to my question. I love snow, so that is not going to stop me. In fact, I am looking forward to this type of walk in the winter. Walking into the spring is just a wonderful thing to do...
Thanks so much again.
Ultreia, Sven
dear jouffroy47, many thanks for your direct answer and sharing your experience. Perhaps a good thing might be to call up a few albergues before my walk, just to see, if I have a place to sleep. The weather is fine and here I know helps, to simply have the right gear on.
Thanks so much.

Hi my dear Pilgrim friend,
I have decided to walk the Via Podiensis, starting mid January 2023. Saint Jean Pied de Port will be half time for a day or two and then I will continue to Santiago and down to Porto.
I have taken up some French lessons, so I can communicate at least the basic stuff...
Hi, If you cannot get away in time, arriving late in Bayonne - just stay in this beautiful town and take the early train next morning to SJPDP. ❤️

Thanks everyone for your replies. I am not going. Am too much through the wind right now. I have been on the Winterwalk on the Camino before 2020 and it was a blissful experience.
Just settling first perhaps, before getting even more lost on the way.
Thanks and have a merry Christmas.
Hi lovely community,
Should I stay or should I go, is, what I ask myself right now? After a breakup and some strong pull going the Camino for perhaps two weeks from Saint Jean to perhaps Burgos, I look to Spain 🇪🇸 and see that the Corona Situation is getting fragil again. To be honest Covid...
Hey Sarah, I like your plan. 😊 One advice I would give you; through the same plan out of the window and replace it with trust, community and living your gift everyday you walk from place to place. I haven’t met a single soul on my walks, that ever stuck to their initial plan, instead of that...
On my walk from Berlin to Bern, parts of it on the Caminos, I slept most of the time outside. I had a Tarp with me and used my walking sticks to put it up. A mat and a sleeping bag did the rest. 🥾
Not such a bad thing to see albergues return to the old ways. In the end, the walk is not a race and I remember, that even on a high in September 2014, there was always a bed waiting for me on the Camino. ❤️
not quite dear @Kathar1na. Just look at the person starting the thread. Anyway, I am not here to discuss your take on this but was rather sending a reminder of what the Camino is about. all the rest appears right in front of your eyes. Take it easy! 😀
❤️ No offence taken @Kathar1na. Important is to simply allow a short sentence to stay, like the one I have posted first, without judging it.
What I mean by my - any but generic advice - is to not forget the walk itself, by all research, as to what is required in order to take the walk. I have...
